He's saying that Trump is a sideshow freak. A geek that people stare at because they cant look away, not because there is anything worthwhile intelligent or even interesting about him.

The first thing I thought about was "The Jar" by Ray Bradbury. It's a great story. A man goes to a sideshow and becomes captivated by a jar that has something grotesque floating in it. It may be a deformed fetus. It may be an animal. Everyone sees something different in it. He buys it for its entertainment value in the hopes it will get him attention and respect.

It does do that. But it also reminds the buyer and viewers of horrible and tragic elements of their life, of twisted beliefs and fears. It even inspires the buyer to do something terrible to keep it''s cynical origin a secret.
